Model portfolio
Over the years, I’ve collaborated with countless models and musicians, each with their own story, style, and energy. My work goes beyond simply taking a photo—it's about revealing the essence of each person in front of the camera, letting their personality, mood, and individuality shine through. Whether it’s a musician's raw emotion or a model’s effortless presence, my goal is to make their essence undeniable.
Being from New York, a city where cultures collide and diversity thrives, I’ve had the unique opportunity to be influenced by so many different backgrounds. This has shaped my perspective, allowing me to see the beauty in everyone’s unique character. My photography is a reflection of this appreciation, capturing the authenticity of every person I work with.
Here are some of my favorites over the years.
good Talk
with Paco
This was a Project I did with a good Friend Pedro for his food Channel on Goodtalk. We skate around the City and tried different Restaurants and documenting the life of what it’s like to be food critic/skateboarder in NYC.Ive seen Pedro grow up pave his own path. From working retail with me in Soho to becoming a dad, an entertainer and essentially his own boss.Pedro does things his own way. In a day with Pedro you never know what will happen.Pedro is the type of person that brings all your favorite people into one room. You might end up with rappers,Your favorite rappers and maybe some famous actors.Not many people can replicate what he does since he is 1 of 1 New Yorker.
Music Artist
Music has always been a part of my world, and my work is about capturing that same energy in images. I create visuals that don’t just document artists — they amplify their sound, their identity, and their story.
